Some people just have a knack for traveling. Like nomads, they're able to move from place to place and can live out of a suitcase for a month without anyone even knowing it. Most of us aren't that lucky. Read on to learn how to keep both yourself and your family looking clean and feeling fresh — wherever you may roam.

Travel truth #1: Wrinkles are directly proportional to the amount of time clothes sit in a suitcase

Do your best to avoid wrinkles altogether by heeding this packing advice:  

Travel truth #2: Fresh clothes are essential

Just because you're tourists and no one knows you, that doesn't mean you and your family shouldn't always look your best. If you're staying at a hotel, cottage or campground that has laundry facilities, use them. Pack a bottle of Tide® with a touch of Downy® for the combined benefits of detergent and fabric softener in one easy product.

If you know you won't have easy access to a washing machine, remember to pack a bottle of Febreze® with Clenzaire™ so you can eliminate odors and freshen clothes with just a few quick sprays.

Travel truth #3: Clothes that smell are people that smell

Cigarette smoke, greasy food, stinky hotel rooms. These are only a few of the bad odors that can permeate your clothes when you’re away from home. No one wants to smell like a roadside diner for an entire week.

If you can't launder right away, spraying with Febreze can eliminate the odors. When you start your trip, try placing a Bounce® sheet in your luggage to help keep garments smelling fresh. Tide®, Downy and Bounce all will soon be announcing a fresh approach to laundry that can help remove strong odors and leave a long-lasting scent.

Travel truth #4: Most clothing stains are only obvious to you

While this may be true, no one likes knowing they’re walking around in stained clothing. Good thing there's Tide to Go®. This instant stain remover helps eliminate many fresh food and drink stains on the spot. It's perfect for travel because you can easily take it with you wherever you go — just remember to stash one in your suitcase, purse or backpack. You'll never have to worry about embarrassing food and drink stains again!

Travel truth #5: An outfit worn in one location won't be recognized in the next

Ah...this one is the real secret to travel success — pack lightly! Thanks to these tips from Tide, it can be done! It's easy once you know that you can keep the clothes you do pack looking clean and smelling fresh wherever you are and no matter how long you stay. Now you just need to find a way to extend your vacation...
